Curtains Close; Take a bow. I think we fooled all of them now.
Chapter 36 - Look In My Eyes, It's Killing Me
Rain's POV
I was slightly hurt by what he had said to me, but I just wanted the best for him. I should leave if he wanted me to. But I just felt so needy to be with him, and it was something I could barely control.
I stood there in the kitchen, watching him tend to Hanley. Oli rocked him and patted his back slowly, before humming in his ear gently to sooth him. Oli used to do that to me after he took me from the hospital.
"Oli?" I asked, trying to change the awful mood between us. He nodded to me. "Would you ever love me again?"
Oh no. That was too much. Especially after our argument. I wanted to suck back the question but it was too late now. My heart sank and I prepared myself for the probably answer I didn't want to hear. Why was I so quick to jump to the point with everyone.
He shrugged. "Look..." He paused before glancing to the time on the microwave beside me. "Shit, I have to go." He snapped, gently laying Hanley down in his crib.
"Bring me with you..." I whispered.
"No, Rain. It's not something you want to watch." He said, lifting his coat over himself and walking towards his shoes.
"Please. I just need to understand you Oli." I stated sadly.
He sighed and said nothing to me for a while. I could hear Hanley breathing quietly behind us. Oli opened his mouth a few times, but hesitated to talk. Finally he answered me. "Fine. But you have to keep Hanley quiet."
My stomach filled with excitement. I could finally find out what he did every time he left me. I quickly lifted Hanley up into my arms and wrapped him in his little rain coat. I squeezed his little hand in mine and together we headed after Oliver, who was now getting inside the car and starting it. I strapped Hanley in the back of the car and Oli told me to hurry up as I did it. I trembled with a mixture of emotions as I sat in the car with him, as I was so unsure about what I was about to see.
